WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER MICROBLADING PROCEDURE!
Unlike a tattoo, which deposits pigment deep within the dermis, microblading only affects the first layer of skin, much like a paper cut. Thanks to the specialized tool microblading creates fine, realistic strokes that mimic the pattern of natural eyebrow hair. A very skilled technician will be able to use these strokes to create a fuller eyebrow shape that will also flatter the patient’s facial structure.
What is MicroBlading AND nanoblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo for the eyebrows. Color is implanted with a blade of tiny needles and applied to the skin beneath the surface to give the appearance of natural looking hair strokes. These strokes look like individual hairs and look very realistic, unlike previous brow tattooing methods which had a very heavy sharpie-like appearance. Microblading is perfect for people who want to define, fill in gaps or create a new shape as a result of scarce or over-plucked eyebrows.
Since microblading pigments are not embedded into the skin as deep as traditional eyebrow tattoos, the area will naturally fade over time. Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years, based on skin type (normal, oily, dry) and age (youthful/mature). Skincare routine will affect the lasting effect of the pigment: clients who tan, use products with AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as your skin will resurface faster. Each individual’s color retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 12-18 months. Clients can let the microblade area fade over time, but please note a slight shadow may remain.
One of the benefits of not going as deep as a tattoo is the fact that it WILL eventually fade over time. Which can be helpful if you decide you don’t want to continue with the brows after 1-2 years or decide you want to change colors.
No! Microblading is done to enhance what you already have to make the eyebrows look as natural as possible. Microblading is a great solution for people who have over-plucked their eyebrows, or who have naturally very thin/light eyebrows and want to accentuate the look of eyebrows on their face. It is not necessary, nor recommended for a client to get rid of any natural hair he or she may already have.
No. Microblading itself will not cause scarring if done correctly by a trained professional. What can cause scarring after a microblading procedure is picking at the healing skin. This is why it is extremely important for you to NOT pick at any scabs or flaking skin after you’ve had a microblading procedure. Picking could result in the loss of pigment as well as scarring.
Just like a typical skin wound, microblading takes about 10 - 14 days to heal before it can get completely wet without disturbing the skin or the healing process. This includes heavy exercise and sweating, showering, and face down swimming. The area will be fully healed 30 days after the procedure was done.
The healing process after a microblading procedure varies from client to client based on many factors. This could include, but is not limited to: the artist's technique, pigments used, aftercare instructions, whether or not shading was done, as well as just overall how someone's body and skin reacts to the procedure. Some of the most common things clients you can expect after a microblading procedure are:
- Tenderness in the area
- Pink or redness around the affected area
- Swelling
- Thickening and darkening of the area
- Moderate to thick scabbing 3-4 days after the procedure
- Scabs will begin to flake off anytime between days 5 - 10
- After scabs flake off, pigment color and strokes will look light, grey, and blurry
- After the area is fully healed (4 weeks after the procedure) the pigment will return to full color
